To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that l, RALPH T. OVERTON, e citizen ol' the United States, residing at BevportI Long Island, and 4State of New Yori, have invented new and'usefiil improvements in BlockingBrushes, of which the following is s speeiiicstion. l

"lliis inventionreletcs to blocking brushes ol' the fountain or reservoir type, the object o'll the invention being to rovide e fountain brush embodying e' nove construction and arrangement of reservoir for holding the blocking, ineens for feeding the blocking unilorinly to the bristles oic the. brush, sind ineens 'loi' admitting air to the reservoir and controlling the supply of oir.

vWith the above and other objects in view, the invention consist-s in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of ports ns herein fully described illustrated end chiinied.

The accompanying drawing represents o longitudinal section through o Jfountain brush embodying the present invention.

The device in its dpreferred form vembodies e douber brush and o, polishing brush in connection with e, reservoir located between the two brushes ond forming o supporting body for the brushes. The deuber brush comprises o back or bese 1 heving rows of clustered bristles extending from the working fece thereof. The had; 1 is provided with a Suiteble handle 3 by means of which the brush, es o whole, ma be manipulated in blocking and polisliings oe'sVJ s toves and the like.

Intermediate the rows of bristles, the noch is provided with apertures 4 leading trone-` versely therethrough and /in seid apertures ere placed copiller feeders 5 of feit or other absorbent materie adopted to feed theliqiiid blocking by es diary attraction freni the reservoiito the ristles the feeders 5 beine D proportionately in width and length the rows of bristles, the inner ends ci seidifeeders extending to or partially into the reservoir or the dist-ributin chamber thereof while the outer ends of tie feeders -are preferably erranged close to the extremities of the bristles :is snovvn in the drswings.

Connected to the back 1 is o reservoirl 6 :ipproximetely of the same shape end size es the beck l, and provided with: en

one end, end preferably that end which lies odjeceiit to the handle 3, the reserv f 'A provided with en olset 13 hevin'g an oir p 1i which is normally closed byel valvole? connected to the shorter erm of o. nger lever lo which is ulcriimed intermediate its er ot 1?' on the reservoir or on e suitable broc; 5t 18 attached to vthe.'reservoir.v The valve i5 is noi-molly held closed by means of e vs ring' .i9 interposed between the lever 16 en the handle 3. 7'

The polishing brushis shown 'of the oonfventioziel form.' comprising 'the back or brise liquid blocking when the brush is inverted from the position shown in thed'rewings and prevent said blocking from finding its wey to the cepillar'yleeders and also escaping or oozing out through the eir port. i

Hoving thus described the invention, whot is claimed ns'new, iszl. A fountain blocking brush comprising o liendle, e beck connected to the handle, n,

'reservoir mounted on the back, bristles project/ing from the beeldend capillary feeders ieztending through the bock to the reservoir ond herring their projecting portions in ronged between the bristles.

A. fountain blocking brush comprising o boch, i connected with the back, a, reservoiisiip ported by the beck, capillary 'feeders ei:- tending through openings in the leeding to the reservoir end having projecting portions which lie between the bristles, the reservoir being provided with an oir port end e volvo controlling seid port.

i 'fountain blocking brush comprising e boeit, bristles projecting therefrom, a reservoir7 connected with the beck, capillary feeders Aextending through apertures in the heel: lending to the reservoir end having pio rlstles projecting therefrom, e handle, f

JeetingY portions which lie between he bristles, the reservoir embodying an o'sei provided with an-air port, and a valve eontrolling said port.
